The actual news here is a new location for BAe Warton's heritage centre. I'm hoping this one's actually open to the public, but haven't been able to confirm that.

Coinciding with the opening of a new centre to celebrate heritage at our military aircraft factory in Warton, Lancashire, some unique documents from the archives have been brought to life through animation to show how the R&D projects might have looked if developed further.

I love the way they mixed up the Shorts/EEco P17 & Lifter combo with the BAC Mustard Space Shuttle.
